I found my birthfamily last year and found that my birthmother had committed suicide in December of 1989. I also found that I had moved 1400 miles that year as she had done also. We were within a mile of each other at the time she died. Shortly thereafter I moved back to Michigan. I found the coincidence very wierd.

I have a great sister who has become a friend. I am very fortunate to have found the "truth" about everything and will always be greatful to my birthmother for the opportunity she gave me to have a better life. I know I can never really tell her that.

I have a few of my birthmothers things and some pictures of her. It is not the same but it gives me some comfort. I think it just takes time to come to accept things the way they are. Best wishes.
